may help found this......Lewis (1990:2) argued that the huge payments made to senior men were to support their whole retinues. Panarka was paid 205 litres of flour, 2 sheep, and 102 litres of wine a day (Persepolis Fortification text a 4).

Thanks NIMM0777 for your suggestion. I have seen elsewhere that sheep were often part of officers' rewards in times past..

Any further enlightenment appreciated.
